About Me

My name is Brooke Nelson and I am a freelance web designer. To the right are links to some of the sites I have done. Please contact me if you need someone to help you design a web site. Thanks for visiting!

Web Design and Development

• Fully versed in CSS, HTML, DHTML, and XML
• Working knowledge of PHP and JavaScript
• Adherence to web-standards-compliant design: My designs comply with the current W3C web design standards, and your web site will pass W3C validation.
• Cross-browser-compatible design: I will design your site so it displays correctly in all browsers.
• Search engine optimization: I will optimize the design of your site to maximize its ranking in major search engines.
• Monitoring tools: I will integrate Google Analytics into your site so you can monitor your site traffic, and I will utilize Google's Webmaster Tools so you can monitor statistics, diagnostics, and indexing of your site.
• Options for your web site include a dynamic blog or photo album that you can easily update through a simple user interface. I can design a custom WordPress (the leading open-source blogging platform) theme that seamlessly matches your web site design.

Graphic Design

• I can design custom graphics and logos for your web site and printed materials.

Writing & Editing

• As a former newspaper editor and reporter, I can edit your content for grammar and content or write material for your site.
